Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Battle of Yiyang (I)

The skeleton of Yiyang City is very large, and the south of the city is the wide Luo River, forming a natural moat. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The north of the city is an unnamed earth mountain, although the mountain is not high, but it is also a barrier, and the north and south of the Luohe River, just will be stuck in the middle of Yiyang City. Yiyang sits in the east and faces west, and outside the west gate is a wide plain. Therefore, the Qin army came from the west, and the front was smooth and smooth, and there was no obstacle, but when they arrived in Yiyang, it was like encountering a nail blocking in front of them. If Yiyang is not pulled out, and the nails are not removed, the road to the six countries will inevitably not be smooth.

The west gate of Yiyang is very large and can accommodate eight horsemen at the same time. At this time, 10,000 people on the left flank lined up in the eight-way column, like an iron stream, quickly pouring into the city. The speed of the cavalry was so fast that in just a moment's effort, most of the 10,000 horses had already poured in. Meng Wu bowed his head slightly under the banner of the Chinese army, and said in his heart: "Even if the city is a sea of swords and fires, as long as my 10,000 people enter the city, they can level the swords and extinguish the sea of fire!" ”

As a veteran of a hundred battles, Meng Wu is not reckless, he is ready to deal with all kinds of emergencies. So only one 10,000-strong team was allowed to enter the city quickly, and the remaining 40,000 people were covering. Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, with the combat power of the Qin army, no matter what moth the Han army plays, it will not affect his battle plan.

"Report! The small number of defenders at the head of the city was suddenly gone! "Observe the scout fast horse to drive in front of Meng Wu," the report said.

"Haha! My Great Qin army is majestic, and the defenders know that they are invincible, and they just flee, how can there be him! "Meng Wu is very confident. In his impression, except for Zhao State, the others in the division of the Six Kingdoms were defeated and fled at the slightest contact, and they did not even organize a decent resistance.

As soon as he finished saying this, he heard a heaven-shattering cannon sound, and a large number of Korean troops instantly poured out from the dirt mountain in the north. It was also an iron horseman, taking advantage of the momentum of the earth mountain to rush down, like a thunderbolt, and quickly rushed towards the central phalanx of the Qin army.

"Report! More than 20,000 people of the Tushan Korean army are coming! ”

Meng Wu was not panicked, and ordered: "The Chinese army is 25,000 people, and 20,000 will be divided to meet the Tushan Han army!" In his opinion, 20,000 against 20,000, with the combat power of the Qin army, it is not difficult to defeat this South Korean army.

The banner waved, and the Chinese army divided into 20,000 troops, and under the leadership of the two commanders, directly collided with the 20,000 Korean troops coming down from the mountain. In an instant, the sound of iron clashing, shouting and killing, and the neighing of people on their backs shook the field.

"Report! The 6,000 horsemen who had already entered the city were sniped by the South Korean army in the city, and the South Korean army was numerous and had already surrounded our army! "The observation scout is reporting again.

Meng Wu's heart tightened, and he suddenly felt bad. The 10,000 people who entered the city had just entered the city at this time, and they were suddenly surrounded and intercepted, the Qin army had few soldiers, and they could deal with it in the short term.

"Pass my general order, the 4,000 men and horses who have not entered the city will fight to the death to enter the city and rescue the people and horses who have entered the city! 10,000 people on the right flank and 5,000 people left in the middle army, dismount and fight on foot, add ladders, and attack the city! ”

Although the 50,000 iron cavalry brought by Meng Wu were not professional siege infantry, they knew that this attack was on Yiyang, and they also carried simple siege equipment. At this time, the matter was urgent, the six thousand iron horsemen in the city were surrounded, and the city gate was blocked by the Korean army.

The Qin army of 50,000 horses, 45,000 people have been put into battle, 20,000 Chinese troops have resisted the Tushan Han army, 10,000 left wings have either entered the city or are still on the way into the city, 10,000 right wings and the remaining 5,000 Chinese troops have dismounted and fought on foot, only the 5,000 pioneers who won the draw are still in place. The vanguard general was put aside, and I don't know if it was Meng Wu's intentional omission or left as a backhand.

The cowhide horn blew, and the mournful sound resounded through the battlefield. The 15,000 knights of the Qin army jumped off their horses, set up a ladder, set up a ladder, set up a city wall, and climbed directly up.

The reason why the Qin army is known as the division of tigers and wolves is because they are all elite, and they can fight on horseback, and they can fight on foot on horse. It can be seen that when the Qin army trains in peacetime, it is not biased towards one branch of the army. The dense Qin army attached a cloud ladder and was about to climb to the top of the city. As long as you climb to the top of the city and rush down from the top of the city, you can put huge pressure on the Korean army in the city, and it is a matter of course to rescue the besieged 6,000 Qin troops.

As the so-called road is one foot high and the devil is one foot high, the siege troops of the Qin army can climb to half the height, and the original empty city suddenly shouted, and countless Korean troops suddenly appeared, and what is even more terrifying is that these Korean troops still have crossbow machines, bows and arrows, and wooden rolling stones, which have obviously been prepared for a long time.

The "crossbow" is South Korea's number one weapon of destruction. South Korea's national strength is weak, but the reason why it can be ranked among the seven major warring states is because South Korea is good at making this kind of "crossbow", so it is called "Jinhan". South Korea is feared by all countries with its famous weapon, the crossbow. The so-called "the strongest bows and crossbows in the world are all from South Korea", South Korea's crossbows can shoot 800 meters away, "those who are far away cover the chest, and those who are close are afraid of the heart". It means that if you shoot at a distance, you can pierce a person's chest, and if you shoot at close range, you can shoot directly into a person's heart.

At this time, a large number of crossbow machines appeared at the head of the city, and Meng Wu secretly screamed badly. Before there was time to react, the crossbow machine was launched, and a sharp sound of breaking the sky came, and countless crossbow arrows flew like locusts, landing on the Qin army team besieging the city in an instant. A miserable scream came, and many Qin soldiers fell in response. Flesh and blood flying, broken arms and stumps, can't bear to look at it. Not to mention that the Qin army besieging the city did not have a shield, even if it was a regular infantry soldier equipped with a thick cowhide shield, it would not be able to block the attack of these crossbow machines.

The besieging forces came to a halt for a moment, and countless rolling stones poured down from the walls. The sassal wood is a defensive weapon, it is powerful and heavy, rolling down with a grunt, crushing when it touches the ladder, and taking it away directly when it encounters a soldier. Although the accuracy of the rolling stone is not as good as that of the bow and arrow, it is innumerable, like hail, it is smashed down without any distinction, even if you are wearing a helmet, you can't resist.

After this wave of Rolling Stones, countless soldiers fell. Meng Wu only felt distressed. I didn't expect the Han army to defend so fiercely, and I blamed myself for not listening to Yingping's persuasion. But now that the two armies are deadlocked, and the siege troops of the Qin army have lost so much, Meng Wu has already killed the red eye. Fighting a tough battle, he has never been afraid, and if he does not wipe out the Yiyang defenders, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

To say that the position at this time is not too much of a disadvantage. The 20,000 Qin troops on the plain have gradually repelled the Tushan Han army, but the Tushan Han army is still holding on, and in order to achieve the strategic goal of the large army, they do not hesitate to sacrifice a little more, but also stick to the main force of the Qin army. The 15,000 men besieging the city were blocked, and it was within the bearability of small casualties. The most fatal thing is the six thousand iron horsemen who entered the city, and they don't know how much pressure they are under at this time. In any case, you must attack the city first and save them!
